OVERVIEW
Sunday, 6 August 20232pm – 5:30pm PDT
Digital avatars represent us in the Metaverse. Sometimes we want to be represented exactly how we are in real life, sometimes we want to be something or someone different. This workshop will bring together graphics and VR researchers and practitioners together with speakers from usable privacy to discuss digital avatars and risks, harms, barriers and opportunities for marginalized/vulnerable users.
